Another Trimble Robot Question

david-livingstone · 2018-11-19T14:42:00Z

I'm fairly new to the robotic world and we recently purchased a used S5 Trimble.?ÿ We have also been renting a S5 unit for several weeks but its not the same unit we purchased.?ÿWith the unit we had been renting we normally set up back site with the typical Chicago Steel Tape -30mm prism on a tribrach.?ÿ Then we shoot the Multitrack Trimble prism.?ÿ When ever it auto locks on the CST prism it always appears to be a little left of the actual center of the prism, maybe 0.01' or a little less but enough you can see its not centered.?ÿ It appears to center up on the Trimble prism.?ÿ In my mind there is a slight error involved in this.?ÿ Not enough to worry in most cases but maybe enough when doing a boundary or building layout.?ÿ It seems to me if always shooting a CST prism the error would cancel but if back sighting a CST and then shooting the multitrack there would be some angular error.I brought this up with our dealer and got kind of a vague don't worry about it, that's normal answer.?ÿ This was with the rental I have yet to test the robot we actually purchased, I just got it last week.?ÿ Is there a test for this??ÿ An adjustment??ÿ I plan to maybe turn some angles carefully with a regular total station and then compare that to what the robot gets.?ÿ

Also my impression using the traverse kit: when you get better results with autolock off then it's time to take the instrument to the dealer!
